The 60-61 Chevy trucks, and possibly other years (I'm doing this from memory) had hydraulic operated clutches.. This was back when brakes had a single piston master cylinder. The trucks had a Siamese master cylinder -- one side for the brakes and the other for the clutch and a common reservoir.. The clutch slave cylinder mounted on a bracket that bolted to the bell housing. The TO bearing and release arm are the same as used on later C/10s. If you decide to go hydraulic, you might look into this arrangement..

I could probably find something like that at the local pick-n-pull.
